Amritsar, March 15 — Panic spread in Khandwala late Friday night after two motorcycle-borne assailants hurled a hand grenade at a temple, damaging its wall.
No injuries were reported as the priest and his family, who reside on the upper floor, escaped unharmed.
CCTV footage captured the suspects throwing the grenade around midnight. Senior police officials reached the scene and launched an investigation.
This marks the first attack on a religious site in the region, where previous grenade incidents—12 in the past four months—have primarily targeted police establishments.
Local leader Kiranpreet Singh condemned the attack, calling it “an attempt to disrupt Punjab’s peace.”
